Lake Crescent - The Quiet Season

Please critique this image. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank You.

Very pretty!

Love the colours

Finally another great image from my Seattle buddy! My wife says that it looks like a painting - "so cool"! One of the things I enjoy about your submissions Laurence, is that you are very descriptive with your reasoning behind your images. Planting the suggestion of "peering around the tree" actually does make my mind churn in the direction. The colors here are splendid and I like the little platform in the middle as it gives something for the viewer to focus on and provides scale. Great job - as usual!! So when is the Pt. Townsend wooden boat show? Oh, and happy belated Thanksgiving!! :-)

Great palette of cold hues. Was it Kodachrome 64, or 25? I thought 25 was out of production.

Thanks for the comments.

 

Thomas! I will be checking out your images in a minute. Had a quiet Thanksgiving, just the way I like it! Hope yours was good. The Boat Show is in the Spring, I think.

 

Michele: It was Kodachrome 25. Didn't find a place to put K25 on the form, yet was required to "check off" something, so I checked off K64.

 

K25 is out of production. I have about 30 rolls left in the freezer, then it's probably about over for me. Too bad, the film was good stuff.

 

Nicely done, Mr. Smith! Its interesting to see how differently two photographers interpret the same subject. I had the good fortune of being with Laurence that cold winter day.

great color and nice perspective.

Thanks for the nice comments all of you.

 

Hey Don! That's right! You took some images that were pretty darn good that day, if I remember correctly. Good to hear from you man!

I really appreciate a different perspective, and the courage to break rules :-) Th color in this is awesome...would make a good pallette for my next interior design client!

Among many similar pictures, this one's quality is exquisitely of very high caliber.

Laurence, it looks as though you have quite a treasure in your freezer. Out of curiosity I just checked on eBay and there is not a single Kodachrome 25 offered for sale. An escort of well preserved K25 film must be a rarity. Only - how are you having it processed?

Hi Michele: ProLab in Washington State will no longer process the K25. But, I sent you, via email, the link to a place in Oregon that will do it. (double the cost of E-6).

Lovely colors and tonality... And as you said a somewhat unusual way to compose it,.. but it works fine.. much due to the darker blue (that give more weight than a bright blue would have done) that fills the left area. Well done!!

The coldness of the blue is wonderfull. And I don't mind your breaking some rules. Rules can be bent if the need is such. And your result is worth it. Though I would try moving the dock a bit to the left (steping a bit to the left and aiming the camera slightly to the right) but certainly, you've also tried this one (if local conditions permit - no edge, no cliff, ...).

Great blues, and the white spots on the tree are excellent in contrast to the blue

This photograph takes my breath away. The main foreground trees make a daring yet thematic statement, especially with their white and earth tones that harmonize so well with the water, the reflection and shoreline hues. The little jetty harmonizes with the shoreline hues as well. The composition is daring in its unorthodox breaking of the rules. And it all works. Celebrate!

Truly fantastic color. Reminds me of glacier blue ice. I will have to add this to my list of places to visit.

My word, your Single Photos folder is filled with stunning pics. I would urge anyone else to check them all out!

An instant favourite up above...
